The Triumph of Economic Freedom - Debunking the Seven Great Myths of American Capitalism

"This readable and important book makes a strong case that the received version of economic history taught in high schools and colleges across the country is off the mark and that its errors distort current policy debates. It deserves attention from economic policymakers of all persuasions."
-LAWRENCE SUMMERS, former Secretary of the Treasury; President Emeritus, Harvard University
